Other songs on this alblum include, Erik the Awful, Fred, Ned the Nostril and the South Seas Paradise, Joggin, newer version of (Further More), Mississippi Squirrel Revival, Happy Hour, Monkeys Theme Song,and It's Me again Margaret! Came out in 1984 on the MCA Label, available on Lp&Cassette, and later CD back then, and even 8-track through RCA record club. First came out titled "He Thinks He's Ray Stevens", relased once on cd as MississipiSquirrelRevival in the 1990s. This was a great alblum!
This came out in 1984, a few short years later I heard this for the first time, the whole alblum, I laughed my a double s off, then started buying his recordings, then went and seen him in concert, I never laughed so hard in my life, and what talent, playing the piano, guiltars, and his band was awesome, what a night to remember.
Waylon Jennings wrote another song called "Get Your Tongue Out of My Mouth, I'm Kissin' You good-bye" It's on here too. Ray Stevens, Waylon...none like them
First (and only time) I ever heard this on the radio I was in Iowa driving back to the airport from my grandmother's funeral. I nearly drove into the ditch hearing the refrain, looking to the radio and yelling "say what!?"
I LOVE this song. Immediately went out and bought the CD. Haven't heard it on the air since, and that was back in the late 1980's in Iowa. So go figure.
It's a real song on some of the old vinyl. Ray keeps it out of the mainstream, because his Momma asked him not to sing it in public. That's not my opinion - just what I've heard from folks who know him well.
The official title is "I'm Kissin' You Goodbye". Ray wrote the song.
Some people on-line think that this song doesn't exist...I've come across several web-sites where people list song titles with strange names and this one is always mentioned but yet the very people who list the song say they've never actually heard it to know if it's a real song or a phrase made up and passed around.
So, thanks for putting it on You Tube. Maybe now some people will know it's a real song. It's funny, too!
@JennyMichaels: I don't own the official CD release of HE THINKS HE'S RAY STEVENS...which is the name of the 1984 album that this song originated from. I've got the 1992 CD re-issue titled MISSISSIPPI SQUIRREL REVIVAL which is the same 1984 album but with a different title and picture sleeve. The 1984 release has him dressed as Napoleon on the cover. The 1992 re-release shows him wearing a red jacket with a map of Mississippi in the background.
This is brilliant! Thanks for sharing it.

"Furthermore" is another good song that never shows up anywhere, if you're interested.
